We have practiced this pretty gencr-

we can raise 250 bushels Of oats from

ample quantity of manure to make

is true Of the farmer. Every corner

THE JAIL LOTS SOLD.
The Whitaker Street Front Disposed
of for $4,000.

The Board of County Commissioners met
yesterday afternoon to consider an offer to
purchase the eastern division of the old Jail
lot. At the last meeting the board declared
the property for sale at the minimum price
of $4,000 Bids were received from Col.
William Garrard for himself and for Alder
man Herman Myers. They offered to pay
the price the Commissioners asked, and
agreed to erect only two residences with
outbuildings, and that for ten years no other
buildings should be erected.
The property is situated on Whitaker
street, between Hall and Gwinnett streets,
facing the Park Extension and running
back 131 IL feet to Howard street. The
offer was received and the following order,
offered by Commissioner Estill, was issued
Ordered, That the offer of Col. William Gar
rard for himself and for Herman Myers, ESQ
to purchase the eastern half of the Jail lot,
namely, that part bounded by Whitaker, Hall and
east line of Howard street extended, and lot No.
80, Forsyth ward, for $4,000 be accepted on the
conditions stated IN said offer, and that George
G. Freeman, Esq, be appointed commissioners to
execute said titles. Payment to be made as
follows: 5000 on July !, 1887, and balance
Nov. l. 1887, with interest at per cent on the
whole amount from May 20.
This disposed of, the committee took up
the consideration of the sale of the remain
ing half that fronts on Barnard street. The
condition in the sale already made. that not
more than two houses should be built in ten
years, greatly enhances the value of the re-
manning lot, as it assures the purchaser that
no tenements or other Objectionable build
ings will be built near him, and that resi-
dences will be put up.
The Commissioners considered the ques-
tion Of value and then adopted the following
resolution, which was offered by Commits
sioner Estill:
Resolved, That so much of the old jail lot as
is bounded by Hall street on the north, Barnard
street on the west, the western line of Howard
street extended on the east, and the northern
line of lot 81, Forsyth ward, on the south, be
offered at public or private sale at a mipimlm

REvoLvERs OVER A COFFIN.
Friends of Murdered Man Make an
Attack on Deputy Coroner.


Attack on a Deputy Coroner.
From the New York World.
Timothy Whelan, who was stabbed last
Sunday morning in front of his saloon, No
900 Greenwich street, by a drunken man
named Byrnes, died at his residence, No. IS
Garrison. street, yesterday. Dr. Justin
Herold, Coroner MESSENGERS deputy, went to
the place last night to make an autopsy.
Patrick Whelan, the father, and Jim, the
brother of the deceased, objected to the
holding of an autopsy The doctor tried to
argue with the people, when Jim, a tough
looking youth, pulled revolver from his
pocket and, leveling it at the doctor across
the coffin, cried:
IF you dare to even raise the cloth on
the box I'll shoot you"
But | must interposed DR.. Herold.
''This is q case of homicide and I'm bound
to make an autopsy"
"Well, I'll kill you if you do" said JIM
taking q sight over the weapon at the depu-
TVS heart. 1t was evident to the deputy
that If he persisted single handed in his pur-
pose he would be worsted, and so he left
He reported the facts at the Charles street
police station. Capt Copeland gave him as
a body guard three otficers-Broderick, Nc
Carton and Beatry. Armed with clubs and
revolverS they preceded the Coroner into
the room. Jim Whelan was not present
when they got there. His father said that
he had gone to DIR. Keene's residence to
ask for his interference, and insisted that
nothing should be done until his return
DR.. Herold, however, prepared for the work
at hand. The old man made spring at him
with his club The officers interrupted him
and flung him down upon sofa. The
women and others in the room commenced
to cry and swear, raising such a row as to
attract a crowd outside. During his strug-
giles with the officers old Whelan managed
to draw am ugly looking knife from his
pocket and attempted to stab his captors
He was quickly disarmed and tightly PIN
Toned Meanwhile DR.. Herold continued
and finished the autopsy amid showers of
abuse and threats on the part of those pres
ent, and then he and his escort of bluecoats
left the house. 1t is likely that warrants
will be sworn out for both the Whelans to-
day on the charge Of threatening the life OF
DIR. Herold. Byrnes who stabbed Whelan
has not been arrested, as he has been in hid
ing ever since Sunday.
